You should be able to use binaries for Lua [1]. In the Lua for Windows
package there is a wlua.exe that doesn't pop up a console window (if I
remember correctly).

Here is the same example implemented using wxLua:

function Main()
	local ip = wx.wxIPV4address()
	-- localhost
	print(ip:AnyAddress())
	print(ip:Service(8080))
	local socket = wx.wxSocketServer(ip, wx.wxSOCKET_WAITALL)
	print(socket:Ok())

	local data
	while 1 do
		data = {}
		print("waiting...")
		local client = socket:Accept(true)
		repeat
			data[#data+1] = client:Read(1)
		until data[#data] == "\n"
		print(table.concat(data))
		client:Write([[
<html>
  <body>
    <h1>wxLua Proxy Test</h1>
  </body>
</html>
		]])
		client:Close()
	end	
end
